Both Mahathir and Anwar signal they are ready to be Malaysia's next prime minister

In Malaysia, both Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim have signalled that they are ready to be the next prime minister. On Feb 26, Dr Mahathir broke his silence in a nationally televised address -- his first public comments since resigning on Feb 24. Shortly after, Mr Anwar declared he had the backing of the parties in his coalition to be prime minister. This development means there is now no clear-cut candidate who commands a clear majority of support among the members of parliament (MPs).
